Betrayal comes in many forms,
But relies on underlying intimacy
To insure a lethal wound.
It is an emotional ambush,
Carefully designed,
Flawlessly executed,
Producing an evil sound
In the orchestra of life. "Let's talk about it," she said,
"So I might explain why you are wrong.
You are paranoid, suspicious
And you lack the proper trust.
If only you had more faith in me,
You would understand your flaws." Then, filled with doubt,
And tangents notwithstanding,
I struggle with myself.
Am I flawed?
Do I lack the proper trust?
Am I paranoid and suspicious?
Perhaps it is me. The Betrayer
Will wrap themselves in a coat of righteousness,
Impervious to honest eyes
That are searching for a soul.
Instead...
They will describe their soul for you,
And demand that you will see
The spiritual mirage. And so I am stranded
In the valley of disregard.
Alone.
And I am left to decide
Who brought me to this barren wasteland. Why does conscience desert me
And tell me that I am wrong,
When evil lies before me and not within?
And then I know...
That betrayal is not a lonely thing,
It has an evil twin. Betrayal is a conspiracy
With those who would wield the saber;
Darkened assignations,
Construed in private
By blighted souls. Consider if you will,
Old Palestine,
Where the blood of innocents was spilled
By a thousand stones,
And jeers,
And a hatred born of lies. Consider life in Salem,
And screams heard above the flames,
Hatred in the eyes of the accusers
Tragic death without a crime. And so we arrive at a point in our lives,
When I know that I've been betrayed.
I hear hushed conversations from afar.
Justifications and rationalizations
From those who have sprung the trap.
Perhaps I am wrong,
And this is all some tragic mistake.
But I reside in the valley of disregard,
And I feel the stones as I am tied to the stake. Bennacio
A man of Faith
In a devilish Place
How will he ever survive the Chase
Running from a man with an Infinite Face
He is constantly avoiding the enemies Gaze
He might not reach the enemies Base
He travels at a Breakneck Pace
He is his order's final Ace
If he doesn't snap out of his Daze
He will surely die on this mysterious Case
But he will not be buried with Lace

This poem really represents the book Alfred Kropp because it really shows the pain of betrayal and it makes people go crazy. Like Alfred the main character that is the main character in this peom are both going through pain, and they are being betrayed left and right. Even the people he cosnsidered to be his friends are now back-stabbing him like Mike for example. Hepretends to be on Alfred's side by helping him and being friends with Bennacio, while he was actually trying to get the sword. But at the end he has a change of heart and he decides to help Alfred, but that mistake was very dangerous therefore Mike paid with his life because the antagonist: Mogart and his allies did not enjoy what Mike had done, even though they were working together. No regret, no nothing. Just a quick execution, and Mike lost his life, no one cared for him, he was just a pawn in this battle
A master of the sword
Always keeps his word
No battle ever won
No deed ever accomplished
Do not dwell on guilt, grief nor the past
Have you remembered what you have forgotten
The hour has come, to remember your past Many are honor bound to protect the sword
But many's will are thin as boards "I am a man of faith" says many
But in truth many go into despair at the slightest commotion
Some though will go to perilous missions to do the impossible
They are the real men of faith. BY: Xin Huang (aka premiumpizza) wow good job premiumpizza from Dallis (aka gang member aka i hate New Moon)
This poem really shows why battle is meanlingless, because the battle between good and evil never ceases. It also shows how easily will is broken. Even of nobles and knigh's will can be broken and they can easily be dragged down the wrong path. But there are some that really are noble, and no matter what case they will fulfill what they believe is pure. Many true things can become lies once you have traveled down the wrong path. This also shows how pointless begin evil is because if you are in a battle, you are just a pawn in a large scale battle.
